American Economy
Ever wondered why America's economy fell off the cliff??
READ ON....
John Smith started the day early having set his alarm clock (Made in Japan) for 6 am.
While his coffeepot (Made in China) was perking, he shaved with his electric razor (Made in Hong Kong).
He put on a dress shirt (Made in Sri Lanka), designer jeans (Made in Singapore) and tennis shoes (Made in Korea).
After cooking his breakfast in his new electric skillet (Made in India) he sat down with his calculator (Made in Mexico) to see how much he could spend today.
After setting his watch (Made in Taiwan) to the radio (Made in India) he got in his car (Made in Germany) filled it with GAS (From Saudi Arabia) and continued his search for a good paying American job.
At the end of yet another discouraging and fruitless day checking his Computer (Made in Malaysia), John decided to relax for a while.
He put on his sandals (Made in Brazil), poured himself a glass of wine (Made in France) and turned on his TV (Made in Indonesia), and then wondered why he can't find a good paying job in America.
AND NOW HE'S HOPING HE CAN GET HELP FROM A PRESIDENT....Made in Kenya.

Accident, by chance.
The latest news is that I fell off my bike yet again. This makes it 8th time in life. As usual the wounds are good enough to make me sleep on one side on the bed. Total left side of the body got rashes. But nothing to worry.
But you know what, this accident made me feel light at heart. I am bored of life that is quite routine all the time. Those wounds just reminded me how careless we used to be in our primes. Not that I am enjoying the burning sensation physically, but actually enjoying it from inside. I am sure many of you will feel that I am not making any sense, but stop for a minute to remember all those things we cherish.
Life is too small and try enjoying it every bit. If you have a positive attitude, every thing in life turns out to be positive.

- Meeting Vishnu for the first time in life; actually happened because of wounds due to my first accident off a bike. He chanced to brush off my wounds in a queue to submit the application forms for BCA entrance. I hated him at that point of time and was shocked to see him as a classmate when I joined Sardar Patel College. And now, he is a friend of mine for life.
- Vishnu and I fell under the Elephantia bridge returning from Sangeet off his LML Vespa.
- The day I rushed to "Satya" Tutions with box of sweets on the occasion of my sister's engagement. Ram driving my kinetic 'straight handled'.(Biggest of my list till date)
- Ram and me falling off my Suzuki Fiero on the Tank Bund and going with all bloody clothes to see off mommy to Australia.
- My bandages on both hands after an accident on the day of our 1st family lunch.(They resembled a boxer's inner gloves)
Life is too small and try enjoying it every bit. If you have a positive attitude, every thing in life turns out to be positive.

Google Talk, Labs Edition
I have just checked out Google Talk, Labs edition which is basically in beta stage. This is a cool tool from Google, but with lot many drawbacks. The much awaited invisible mode is available along with smileys, integration to google calenders and orkut.
But the drawbacks are really major things like lack of file transfer feature and a separate window for every individual chat. This makes this tool unusable in an Office environment as an internal communication tool. All the chats appear as tabs in the main window itself rather than a new window. If you have a habit of closing the main window, to save space on your task bar, the icon in the system tray blinks whenever a new chat message arrives. This might not catch your attention always and there is a chance of losing the whole point of communication itself. Unfortunately, I close the main window. So, this Labs Edition is unusable for me.
To download the Google Talk, Labs Edition, visit here.

Life
I had one of the sad weekends in recent times last week. Also, in a way, this is the most remembered in a positive sense even.
One of my closest pal is blessed with a baby girl and I visited Hyderabad to see the baby. Unfortunately, I couldn't see the baby as she was in an ICU. The whole of the weekend was spent at hospital mostly..
Also, I spent some quality time with another pal, with whom my relation was little severed in the past due to some unhealthy circumstances.
On the whole, many revelations occurred this weekend regarding relationships and their weight in life.
And lastly, I thank almighty to give me this life and friends on whom I can depend on..

The chronicles of (A)Satyam.
Ramalingaraju resigned from the post of Chairman of Satyam Computers yesterday i.e., 07/01/09 accepting that a scam of 7000 crores is done.
This incident is first of its kind and resulted in the loss of investor's money and faith in the company. It is very hard to earn both of them back any time in near future.
From a layman's perspective, what I understood is that Ramalingaraju inflated the balance sheets of the company to wrongly portray that the company is in profit making and subsequently resulting in high share values and investments from the public. This is all done to evade the shame of accepting that the 4th largest Indian IT firm is in losses and on the brink of closing down.
Also, Ramalingaraju's sons started another company named Maytas and Satyam tried to acquire that company in 2008. This eventually led the government to probe into the financial dealings of Satyam.
Whatever the fate is for Mr. Raju, Indian IT sector itself faced a humiliation with this incident. The year 2009 also has started with a wrong note. Anticipating much worse scenarios in 2009..

Happy New Year
At last, year 2008 passed by. This year has left many scars on people of the world and particularly on Indians. Global economic crisis made us less powerful to buy things and Mumbai attacks induced fear in the hearts.
Fortunately, some good things also happened this year, in the events of Barack Obama being elected as the President of United States, release of The Dark Knight etc,. helped us on emotional and entertainment fronts respectively..
Enough said about the year, I hope the coming year 2009 will bring cheers and happiness to the people of the World.
May the World economy settle and may Terrorism find its grave.

New Job, new Life & new world..
It's been a long time since my last post. I moved to Visakhapatnam (Vizag), in Andhra Pradesh for my new job. This is a real cool place on the shores of Bay of Bengal. I used to enjoy sunsets at Mumbai and it is time for enjoying sunrises now. Vizag also doubles up as a hill station as the eastern ghats are very nearby.
My prospective home is just 13kms near the city. It is placed right next to the Chennai-Kolkata highway. The area is completely free from pollution of all sorts and free from city buzz. The view also very picturesque.
Life moves on showing many new places and teaching new lessons. Anticipating the best out of everything in this new and beautiful city.

సిపాయి
అమ్మలకు .... సర్వం
నాన్నలకు చిరు గర్వం
అమ్మమ్మలకు ప్రయాణ బడలిక
మామయ్యలకు "వెయిట్" చెయ్యాలన్న అలక
ఇదండి....
ముసి ముసి నవ్వుల సిపాయి
మా బుడి బుడి నడకల పాపాయి
కళ్ళలో కాంతులూ
చేతుల్లో గిలకలూ
మాటల్లో మకరందాలూ
ఆటల్లో అర్ధరాగాలూ
ఇందుకండీ....
ముసి ముసి నవ్వుల సిపాయి
మా బుడి బుడి నడకల పాపాయి
